Nigerian Judiciary: Do the judges use the same Electoral Act or do they use the by – laws of their respective town unions?


Governor Samuel Ortom left the PDP

November 7, 2015 , 4 Views

In Benue State,  Governor Samuel Ortom left the PDP where he lost the governorship primary and was handed the APC ticket without a primary.  The tribunal upheld his election.  Today in Taraba,  the PDP conducted its primary in Abuja due to security concerns,  but the tribunal nullified the election on the ground that Governor Darius Ishaku was not validly nominated by his party.

On October 24, the relocated tribunal nullified the election of Rivers State Governor,  Nyesom Wike on the ground of card reader accreditation and third party testimonies.  But in Lagos State,  up to the Supreme Court,  the judges have upheld his election declaring that card reader is not enough ground to nullify an election and that only participants at the polling units can testify to the conduct of an election.

What manner of judiciary do we have under President Muhammadu Buhari?  Judicial Manipulation constitutes the worst form of corruption against a nation!
